dusk arising

the long goodnight

 

 

 


Her missing footsteps follow me
rattle silent in my mind
in streets of arm in arm no more
cobbled pavings cry her name

willow fingers reach,  ....in disbelief
i walk my heart along our lanes
where hinges sang to know her then
silence,    ....shares my pain

what worth can now tomorrow bring
where will sunlight find to light
bring on the clouds and falling rain
to mourn the long goodnight
